Homeless or Famous!? It’s Radioman!

Buzzfeed.com posted a little quick story today about how nice Tina Fey was to pose with a “homeless man” for a photo.  They didn’t want to give her too much credit though, and so they posted some other celebrities who have posed with the homeless.  But when they saw that the same “homeless man” also posed with Courtney Love shouldn’t they have realized they were missing something?  Hey Buzzfeed, he’s not homeless, he’s famous!

The “homeless man” in question is not just your average street fella.  He’s a bona fide celebrity who goes by the name Radioman (he wears a radio around his neck) and can be seen in a long list of movies and television shows. Craig Schwartz or Craig Castaldo has shown up in Ransom, Godzilla, Keeping the Faith, Little Nicky, Elf, Two Weeks Notice, Romance and Cigarettes, The Departed, 30 Rock, Tower Heist and more.  Now that you know what he looks like you’ll see him all over the place.

According to his wikipedia page, he has been written about in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out, the New York Daily News, and Whoopi Goldberg took him to the Oscars as her guest one of the years she hosted.  Check out his website, imdb page, a documentary being made about him and a whole bunch of pictures with celebs below.

And just for comparison’s sake, here’s a photo of a genuine unidentified homeless man:
